     British near-term gas prices fell over the week, driven by a         Change in Gas Prices
     tighter  system  caused  by  Norwegian  maintenance  and   110
     increasing  residential  heating  demand  as  the  Oseberg
     maintenance was extended. As a result, NBP spot slipped by   95
     0.9% for the week, ending at 78.70 p/therm.
                                                           p/therm  80
     Along the forward curve, the gas price for Sum-26 delivery
     rose by 1.5% for the week, closing at 76.54 p/therm, fueled   65
     by  escalating  geopolitical  tensions,  particularly  U.S.
     sanctions  on  Russian  oil  and  the  EU’s  “shadow  fleet”   50

     The  EU  sanctioned  Russian  energy,  targeting  major   67
     producers  and  117  vessels,  while  the  U.S.  sanctioned   66
     Rosneft and Lukoil, prompting Chinese and Indian buyers to   65
     cut purchases. Putin downplayed the impact but warned of   64
     tighter  global  supply,  pushing  Brent  futures  into   63
     backwardation. Rising EU-China tensions over sanctions on   $/bbl  62
     Chinese  refiners  add  uncertainty  ahead  of  a  U.S.-China   61
     meeting that could ease trade frictions.
